Sounds and Echoes.

As the ear cannot distinguish between
two sounds occurring at an interval of
less than one-siAteenth OF second, that
time must necessarily clapse between
the utterance of sound and its return
to form an echo. An echo is simply q
sound reflected from some opposing
body, which must be thirty-fve feet
away from the cause of the sound The
sound will have to pass through seventy
feet, and this will take about one six
teehth of second-since sound travels
at the rate of ], 100 feet per second-so
that the direct and reflected sounds may
be distinct. The further the rejecting
